Install and run
Setup complexity: low.
clawhub skill install s176q0vwbyv9fyg5jsxfm2pjv1857303:booksearch-api- Setup complexity is classified as HIGH. You must provision dedicated cloud infrastructure or an isolated VM. Do not run this directly on your local workstation.
- Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.
Contract: missing

name: booksearch-api
description: Search Amazon KDP books on the BeyondBSR public API, retrieve BSR (Best Sellers Rank) history for a single book, and explore the Amazon category taxonomy (browse nodes) for any supported marketplace. Each book-search result now ships its full root → leaf category ancestor chain(s) inline, so the skill can aggregate market-opportunity reports by macro/sub category without follow-up calls. Use this skill whenever the user wants to discover, filter, or research self-published or traditionally published books on Amazon by BSR, category, keyword, royalty range, rating, reviews, publication date, binding type, or marketplace (currently only the US and FR Amazon marketplaces are populated with data — more coming soon); when the user wants the BSR timeline of a specific ASIN over the last N days; when the user wants to look up Amazon category codes (browse node IDs), walk the category tree (children, ancestors/breadcrumb), or search categories by name to use as filters in book search; or when the user wants to group/aggregate search results by macro category (e.g. "how many Personal Finance opportunities, broken down by sub-category?"). Typical intents include KDP niche research, low-competition book discovery, sales estimation, royalty/revenue projection, competitor analysis, paperback/hardcover filtering, bulk listing of books matching numeric/textual criteria, single-ASIN BSR history charts, resolving a human-readable category name (e.g. "manga", "self-help") into the Amazon `catId` to pass to `categoryIds` in book search, and producing category-grouped market-opportunity summaries from a single search response. Do not use for price-history timelines, review/rating timelines, or account/user data — only book search, BSR history, and category browsing are exposed.

# BookSearch API
## ⚠️ API Access & Beta Program
The BeyondBSR BookSearch API is currently in **private beta**. This skill requires an API key (`BOOKSEARCH_API_KEY`) which is **not publicly available** at this time.
Users interested in accessing Amazon KDP book data (BSR history, reviews, categories, keyword research) can apply to the early adopter program by contacting **[email protected]**. Requests are reviewed individually and approved keys are issued on a case-by-case basis.
Without a valid key, all endpoints below will return `401 Unauthorized`.
---
Programmatic search over the BeyondBSR book catalogue, BSR history retrieval for a single book, and Amazon category taxonomy browsing. Six endpoints, JSON in / JSON out, API-key auth.
## When to use this skill
Use it when the user asks to:
- Find books matching numeric filters: BSR range, rating, reviews count, royalty, page count age, publication recency.
- Discover niches by keyword inclusion/exclusion or Amazon category IDs.
- Filter by marketplace (currently US / Amazon.com and FR / Amazon.fr only).
- Distin_meta.json

## Description:
Searches the BeyondBSR public API for Amazon KDP books, retrieves single-ASIN BSR history, and browses Amazon category taxonomy for supported marketplaces.
This skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.
## Publisher:
[ramius88](https://clawhub.ai/user/ramius88)
### License/Terms of Use:
MIT-0
## Use Case:
External users and developers use this skill for KDP niche research, competitor analysis, sales and royalty estimates, BSR history checks, and Amazon category lookup through the BeyondBSR API.
### Deployment Geography for Use:
Global
## Known Risks and Mitigations:
Risk: The skill requires a private beta API key and sends book-search queries to api.beyondbsr.com.
Mitigation: Install only when the publisher is trusted, keep BOOKSEARCH_API_KEY out of user-facing output, and avoid exposing it in logs or screenshots.
Risk: The skill depends on external API availability, authorization, rate limits, and marketplace coverage.
Mitigation: Handle 401, 429, 404, and validation errors as documented, and limit use to populated US and FR marketplace data unless newer server evidence says otherwise.
